It may sound cliche but my husband is literally my best friend in the entire world... when we come home from work we share about our days together, we go on adventures together, we pray together... he builds me up in every way I need! Of course we both have many wonderful friends... but not one soul on this earth understands and knows me like my husband...

Well he is gone right now :,( he has been gone for a week now and I won't see him for at least another week ( military training... he is my wonderful Marine) and I only get to hear from him once in awhile...

I am so lonely! My house feels so incomplete and empty! I hate not being able to share life with him and especially right now! We are almost to the 4 month mark and there are so many fun things to talk about! I know it is only another week... but how can you miss one person so desperately? My friends have been wonderful and kept me pretty busy with dinner dates, sleep overs and lake days... and they seem to think I should be enjoying all the girl time with no hubby :( but goodness I want my husband home more than I can express!

Sooo hard! Aside from knowing our relationship grows stronger ever time we are apart the only good part is that I have some of the sweetest most amazing love letters from him... and very few girls are lucky enough to have letter from their men theses days :)

I am in the same boat my husband got recalled for active duty last month. Just found out he won't be coming home till end of oct. I have work to keep me busy but our house is so quiet I hate it!i wish I had better advice hang in there!

I completely understand how you are feeling. My husband lives in Georgia and I live in New York and not seeing him for a month and a half is so hard. I just have to remind myself that this is a means to an end and won't last forever. Keep your chin up Momma!

I get it. My husband did 2 tours - Iraq for 18 months and Afghanistan for 12 months. Shortly after the Afghan tour, he went away to training for 2 weeks and I missed him just as bad then as I did when he was gone for a year+

My husband is in the marines too. Basic training was miserable with only being able to talk to him at certain times. Totally know what you're going through. My husband and I are very close as well and when he's gone for long amounts of time it gets really lonely. My best advice is have fun with all your friends and enjoy the girl time but don't let you missing your husband distract you. Trust me he doesn't want you sad while he's gone. You only have a little while longer! I hope you start feeling better!

My husband was in the marines too (he got out last summer) and he is my best friend too! I remember how hard it was when he was gone through trainings and deployment, and not being able to talk all the time.

Just do your best to keep busy, or plan something nice for him when he gets home :). I made myself a little countdown for times when we were apart for a little while.

The only thing that was nice about spending time apart, was how great it felt to be reunited, it was the best feeling in the world. You'll be together again soon

My husband was in the Marines as well. We chose to not have kids until he was out which why we are having our first 6 years later. Just hang in there, you should ask your FRO to see if there is anything you can do in the meantime. Where are you guys stationed?
